The Vision is Yours 2026: Placemaking Placekeeping Conference

The Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail traverses a remnant of the former streetcar “Number 82” line that ran from the Treasury Building in Washington, DC to Laurel, Maryland. It was a central part of the small-town experience for the region of commuters, shoppers, and residents of Prince George's County just outside of the Capitol. Today, the trail connects College Park, Riverdale Park, and Hyattsville directly to the Anacostia River Trail network, a premier regional system of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Join trail planners, Gateway Arts District members, community leaders and more for a lively panel focused on the work of extending the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail into Gateway Arts District: how the trail came to be, the latest extension in Hyattsville, the value in linking Route 1 Corridor downtowns and commercial areas and where, physically and conceptually, the community wants this to go.
